It  will  be  observed  that  the  receipts  of  the  first  quarter  exceed 
those  of  the  second  quarter  more  than  fourfold,  and  that  they  are 
greater  by  $1,729.78  than  the  aggregate  receipts  of  the-"feecond,  third 
and  fourth  quarters.  The  sudden  and  very  great  falling  oiF  after  the 
first  quarter  is  susceptible  of  easy  explanation.  It  is  in  fact  chiefly, 
though  not  altogether,  to  be  ascribed  to  the  misfortunes  to  which  the 
country  was  subjected  about  that  time.  ^The  occupation,  by  the  ene- 
my, of  a  part  of  Louisiana,  Western  and  Middle  Tennessee,  includ- 
ing the  cities  of  New  Orleans,  Memphis  and  Nashville,  as  well  as 
considerable  districts  of  territory  in  Virginia,  the  Carolinas,  and 
other  States,  could  not  fail  to  have  an  immediate  and  most  depressing 
effect  upon  the  revenue  of  an  establishment  whose  revenues  arc  mea- 
sured by  the  number  of  persons  seeking  the  protection  of  the  gov- 
ernment, through  its  agency,  and  which  flourishes  or  languishes,  ac- 
cording as  the  number  of  those  persons  is  largo  or  small.  So,  also, 
the  possession  by  r,he  enemy  of  iSew  Orleans  and  Memphis,  with  j;. 
considerable  extent  of  the  Mississippi  river,  above  and  below  thosn 
points,  by  interrupting  the  old  lines  of  communication,  indisposed 
the  citizens  of  the  States  beyond  the  Mississippi  river  to  incur  the 
supposed  risk  of  remitting  money  by  the  uncertain  channels  remain- 
ing open  to  them.  From  this  cause,  immediately  after  the  fall  of  New 
Orleans  and  jMemph  s,  the  receipts  from  Texas,  Arkansas  and  West- 
ern Louisiana,  which  previously  had  been  proportionately  as  great  as 
those  from  any  other  section  of  the  Confederacy  not  containing  ti 
larger  population,  fell  down  at  once  to  a  merelj^  nominal  amount,  nor 
has  there  since  been  any  perceptible  improvement. 

To  the  disasters,  therefore,  which  befel  our  army  last  spring,  and 
to  the  withdrawal  of  so  many  of  our  people  from  their  usual  peaceful 
avocations  to  enter  Ihe  army,  is  the  decline  in  the  business  and  reve- 
nue of  the  Patent  (Tffice  mainly  to  be  attributed.  These  were  not, 
hov/ever,  the  only  causes,  and  had  the  c  )untry  escaped  the  unhappy 
reverses  which  characterized  that  darkest  period  of  our  existence  as  a 
nation,  there  would  still  have  been  a  considerable  decline  under  the 
operation  of  the  act  of  January  23d,  1862.  .  That  act  reduced  the 
fees  for  recording  and  reviving  United  States  patents  and  assignments 
of  LTnited  States  patents,  owned  by  citizens  of  the  Confederacy,  to 
one  half  the  amount  previously  fixed  by  the  act  of  May  21st,  1S53-, 
and  the  receipts  would  necessarily  have  been  diminished  to  that  ex- 
tent, even  although  the  holders  of  such  instruments  had  continued  to 
file  them  for  record  and  revival,  as  rapidly  as  had  been  the  case  prior 
to  the  passage  of  said  act.  But  the  act  not  only  reduced  the  fees  in 
such  cases  ;  it  also  extended  the  time  within  which  United  States  pa- 
tents and  assignments  of  United  States  patents  might  be  recorded  with 
the  view  to  restore  their  validity,  to  a  period  ending  six  months  after 
the  present  war;  and  hence,  it  took  away  all  motive  for  immediate 
action  on  the  part  of  the  holders  of  such  instruments,  and  practically- 
postponed  all  revenue  from  that  source  until  after  the  close  of  iho 
war.  That  the  effect  of  the  act  is  as  stated,  is  shown  by  the  fact  that 
not  one  hundred  dollars  liave  been  received  for.  recording  and  reviving 
United  States  patents  and  assignments  thereof,  since  the  1st  of  May, 
2 


whereas,  previous  to  that  date,  and  before  the  extension  of  the  limita- 
tion became  generally  known,  notwithstanding  the  reduced  fees,  the 
receipts  in  that  behalf  were  larger  than  from  all  other  sources  com- 
bined. 

In  thus  commenting  upon  the  Act  in  question,  it  is  not  designed  to 
indicate  an  adverse  opinion  as  to  the  propriety  of  its  passage,  but 
only  to  explain  one  of  the  ceases  which  for  a  time  made  the  income 
insufficient  to  meet  the  expenses  of  the  office,  and  entailed  the  conse- 
quences which  will  be  presently  noticed.  The  law  is  a  good  one,  and 
ought  to  stand.  The  fees  as  fixed  by  it  are  not  believed  to  be  too 
small,  and  as  the  extension  of  time  was  but  a  simple  act  of  justice  to 
a  meritorious  class  of  citizens  whose  rights  might  otherwise  have  been 
seriously  injured,  no  thought  of  suggesting  a  repeal,  nor  even  any 
alteration  of  its  provisions,  is  for  a  moment  entertained.  The  policy 
which  dictated  its  enactment  was  wise  and  just,  and  though  in  its 
present  operation  it  deprives  the  office  of  a  source  of  revenue,  the  de- 
privation is  but  temporary,  and  may  well  be  borne  without  complaint 
in  consideration  of  the  benefits  to  be  derived  by  those  who,  engaged 
in  fighting  the  battles  of  the  country,  have  no  time  now  to  attend  to 
private  interests. 

Diminished  receipts  made  it  requisite  to  curtail  the  expenditures  of 
the  office,  and  as  this  could  only  be  done  by  reducing  its  clerical  force, 
recourse  was  had  to  that  alternative.  The  officers  and  clerks  whose 
services  were  to  be  dispensed  with  had  been  carefully  selected,  and 
with  especial  reference  to  the  somewhat  peculiar  duties  of  the  Patent 
Office,  and  they  had,  without  exception,  well  and  zealously  performed 
their  duties.  It  need  hardly  be  added,  therefore,  that  the  above  alter- 
native was  exceedingly  disagreeable,  and  indeed  painful.  It  is  a  gra- 
tifying fact,  however,  that  in  no  single  instancy  was  a  compulsory 
dismissal  necessary.  The  gentlemen  employed  in  the  office  by  their 
own  action  averted  such  necessity — each  as  the  business  of  his  desk 
was  worked  off,  and  he  found  himself  without  employment,  voluntari- 
ly resigned  his  place,  and  it  gives  me  pleasure  to  refer  to  the  fact  as 
exhibiting  a  spirit  greatly  to  be  commended.  At  length,  about  the 
middle  of  November  one  assistant  examiner  alone  remained,  and  thus 
far  it  has  been  found  that  with  his  assistance  the  business  of  the  office 
can  be  dispatched  without  undue  delay.  In  this  way  the  expenses 
have  been  reduced  as  much  as  it  was  possible  to  reduce  them ;  and  if 
the  average  monthly  receipt^  for  the  last  three  months  can  be  accepted 
as  indicating  what  may  be  expected  in  the  future,  there  is  no  room  for 
■doubting  the  capacity  of  the  office  to  sustain  itself  amid  all  the  draw- 
backs consequent  upon  the  dreadful  war  in  which  we  are  engaged, 
without  drawing  to  any  considerable  extent  upon  the  surplus  now  in 
'the  Treasury.  The  receipts  for  the  last  three  months  have,  in  fact, 
'been  a  little  more  than  will  be  required  to  meet  the  expenses  of  any 
'Corresponding  period  this  year,  so  long  as  the  office  is  administered 
with  its  present  force.  As  in  the  preceding  year,  a  large  proportion 
•of  the  applications  have  been  based  on  alleged  improvements  in  the 
engines  and  implements  of  war,  and  it  is  a  striking  illustration  of  the 
truth  of  the  familiar  aphorism,  that  '*  necessity  is  the  mother  of  in- 


vention ;  '  that  twenty-six,  or  more  than  one-third  of  the  patents  that 
hme  been  allowed,  cover  improvements  of  this  class.  Kor  will  it  be 
amiss  to  state  that  a  fair  proportion  of  these  improvements  have 
proved  of  high  value  in  actual  practice  against  the  enemy.  The  re- 
cords of  the  office  for  the  past,  furnish  eren  more  conclusive  proof 
than  during  the  preceding  year,  that  in  all  that  relates  to  the  practice 
of  the  Mechanic  Arts,  the  Southern  people  are  the  equals  of  any 
other  race  in  the  world,  and  the  prediction  is  not  idly  adventured, 
that,  as  in  the  attributes  of  genuine  manhood,  as  exhibited  upon  so 
many  glorious  fields  of  battle,  as  well  as  in  those  of  a  more  purely 
intellectual  and  moral  nature,  the  Southerners  have  shown  themselves 
immeasurably  superior  to  their  late  associates  of  the  North,  so  also 
will  they  quickly  transcend  Yankee  craft  and  ingenuity  in  the  boasted 
department  of  invention  and  discovery. 

Serious  difficulties  have  still  to  be  encountered  in  the  examinations 
of  cases,  from  the  want  of  proper  books  of  reference,  and  althou-rh 
there  is  no  proof  as  yet  that  such  is  the  case,  it  is  almost  certain  tlTat 
some  of  the  patents  that  have  been  granted,  and  that  will  hereafter  be 
granted,  will  be  set  aside  ultimately  by  the  courts.  The  policy  is 
still  pursued  of  giving  the  benefit  of  every  doubt  to  the  applicant,  and 
in  all  cases  in  which  positive  proof  cannot  be  procured  of  the  want  of 
novelty  in  the  subject  matter  of  a  given  cLim,  the  rule  continues  to 
be  to  grant  a  patent.  In  this  connection,  I  beg  leave  to'call  the  atten- 
tion of  Congress  to  the  fact,  that  the  existing  lav  restricts  the  amount 
which  maybe  expended  by  the  Commissioner  in  the  purchase  of  books 
for  the  library  to  five  hundred  dollars.  And  as  nearly  that  amount 
has  already  been  expended,  and  additions  to  the  library,  whenever  the 
opportunity  of  purchasing  books  presents  itself,  ought  to  be  made  I 
respectfully  suggest  that  authority  be  given  the  Commissioner  to  ex- 
pend an  additional  sum  of  five  hundred  dollars  for  such  purpose  if  in 
his  judgment  it  may  safely  be  done.  ' 

Section  7,  of  the  Act  of  May  21st,  1861,  in  giving  the  right  of  ap- 
peal from  the  Commissioner's  decisions  to  the  Attorney  General,  to 
parties  who  are  not  satisfied  with  such  decisions,  neglects  to  require 
the  prodifbtion  by  such  parties  of  any  reasons  of  appeal,  either  orally 
or  m  writing.  The  propriety  and  ^even  necessity  of  such  a  require- 
ment IS  so  manifest  that  no  argument  need  be  made  in  support  of  it. 
The  eff'ect  of  its  omission  is  to  enable  every  rejected  applicant,  on  his 
mere  motion,  to  take  his  case  before  the  Attorney  General  without 
specifying  a  single  reason  for  so  doing.  The  omission  to  incorporate 
such  a  requirement  was  probably  the  result  of  inadvertence  on  the 
part  of  the  fr^mers  of  the  law,  and  the  passage  of  an  mendatory 
Act,  which  shall  cure  the  defect,  is  respectfully  recommended.
